[ckan-dev] problems with api authentication

Mon Aug 8 21:17:34 UTC 2016

I'm working on updating some datasets and am running in to persistent
authentication issues.

{
    "message": "Access denied: <function resource_update at 0x7efead4c4848>
requires an authenticated user",
    "__type": "Authorization Error"
}

I am the primary sysadmin, but I did not create the datasets in question.

I've tried via curl:

curl -H 'Authorization:<API-KEY>' 'http://ckan/api/action/resource_update'
--form upload=file.csv --form id=<RESOURCE-ID>

and via requests:

r = requests.post('http://ckan/api/action/resource_update',
              data={"id":"<RESOURCE-ID>"},
              headers={"X-CKAN-API-Key": "<API-KEY"},
              files=[('upload', file('file.csv'))])

and via R using a similar call....

I've done this hundreds of times before and yet...persistent 403 errors.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sasha
